Some of these methods in the antenatal period include, ultrasound examination, Doppler ultrasound, electronic foetal heart rate monitoring, etc. Foetal assessment tests in early pregnancy such as amniocentesis and CVS and those in late pregnancy, including tests like NST, CST, BPP, etc., amniotic fluid assessment and tests for foetal lung maturity have also been described.
